By ceasing to use any chemical inputs in her vineyard in 1988, Claire Laval was one of the precursors of organic farming in Bordeaux. Its beautiful 7 ha terroir, close to the church of Pomerol, produces frank, straight and fairly quickly seductive wines that are nevertheless capable of ageing very well. Authentic Pomerol, at a welcoming price.

The amateur looking for fine and easily digestible classified great wines should be interested in Fonroque. In organic cultivation since 2006 and biodynamic cultivation since 2008, Fonroque offers an original vision of the terroir of the Saint-Émilion plateau, made of freshness, elegance, controlled and melting power. Alain Moueix, its owner, clearly shows the way forward for the future of the great wines of Bordeaux, all shores combined.
Rated 90/100 by N. MARTIN «I suggested/hoped that the 2020 Fonroque would display more finesse by the time of bottling, and it seems to have heard my words. With blackberry, briary and light sous-bois scents on the nose, this indeed conveys greater refinement. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly angular tannins, fresh and saline, with a dash of black pepper decorating the finish. A little Medocian in style with decent length, this should age well in bottle.» (December 2022)
Le millésime 2020 est noté 93/100 par La Revue du Vin de France : « Couleur sombre et densité caractérisent ce 2020. [...] Un Saint-Emilion à la carrure impressionnante. »

The palate is medium-bodied with slightly angular tannins, fresh and saline, with a hint of black pepper on the finish. With a slightly Medoc style and good length, it should age well in bottle."

Rated 95/100 by La Revue du Vin de France «Certifié en biodynamie, Fonroque livre un vin qui ne force jamais sa nature et respecte les équilibres. Il possède un fruit et une chair veloutée qui continuent à s'épanouir dans le temps. Jeune, 2018 se montre d'une grande fraîcheur aux accents minéraux. Mais c'est avec l'âge qu'il s'exprime au mieux l'empreinte de son terroir. Les millésimes chauds sont remarquables.» (December 2022)

An oenologist by training, Ms. Papon-Nouvel owns two tiny properties at the bottom of Saint-Émilion near Canon-La Gaffelière: Petit Gravet Aîné (2.4 ha) and Clos Saint-Julien (1.3 ha), where the vines are mainly old cabernets francs. From the vine to the cellar, she manages all the stages in the production of her wines on her own and, whatever the vintage, her talent as an instinctive winemaker gives wines of natural elegance and exemplary sweetness.
The 2021 vintage is rated 92/100 by N. Martin "Le Petit Gravet Ainé 2021 presented itself well as soon as it left the barrel. Dominated by 90% Cabernet Franc, it has a fresh, saline bouquet that manages to reach phenolic maturity. The palate is medium-bodied, with crisp tannins on the attack that develop into a creamy mid-palate and a very consistent finish, tinged with white pepper and garrigue. Excellent" (February 2024)

Mrs Papon-Nouvel's other grand cru (with Petit Gravet Aîné). Same organic culture, same sensitivity, same style, with extra flesh and depth. Great wine! Great wine, logically promoted to grand cru classé in 2022.
The 2021 vintage is rated 95/100 by A. Galloni "Clos Saint-Julien 2021 is sublime. Delicate, silky and wonderfully nuanced, Clos Saint-Julien is exquisite in this vintage. Lavender, plum, spice, menthol, liquorice and mocha are just some of the many nuances that run through this exceptionally polished, understated Saint-Émilion. It should be a great relative value too." (February 2024)

Isabelle and Denis Pommier started in 1990 with only 2 ha. They have made gradual progress, both in the constitution of their vineyards (now 16 ha) and in their cultivation practices (tillage, disbudding, certified organic from the 2014 vintage). Their wines, vinified and aged for a long time in oak barrels for Croix aux Moines and the 1st crus, have a richness and amplitude that contrast with the usual extreme vivacity of the Chablis.
Quoted in the guide of the Revue du Vin de France.
